It was also on the evening of my birthday, but if it's someone I know (this particular bike model is hard to come by around here, I'm told there's only one other like in town!), nobody's come out and admitted responsibility for it. :-)

The ninja bike (as I call it, due to it's totally quiet belt drive) gets a lot of attention, yeah. Yesterday, in fact, it bested it's own record for the number of people talking to me about it in a single day, to five. :-)

@cate*: I didn't see very many bikes in Lisboa last time I was there, but if I do, I'll try to think of leaving a note! Going on vacation to Portugal for a couple of weeks, this weekend... Yay!

It doesn't take much to make the day a beautiful one for a friend or a stranger (or sometimes for someone who dilikes one for no good or apparent reason)- Just a few kind words and/or a smile. ;) L. (lemony/lem)
